You've been saved. You've destroyed some idols. You've done everything right — and yet something keeps pulling you back.In Saved but Still Stuck, Pastor Ben Norvig digs into one of the most overlooked passages in the Old Testament: King Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, tore down idols, and stirred revival. But there's a line in 1 Kings 15 that keeps showing up across generations of kings: “The high places were not removed.” That single detail — left unaddressed — cost Israel everything.Pastor Ben unpacks the difference between an idol and a high place, why high places always require a sacrifice, and how the patterns we leave standing get handed to our kids. He also shares a personal reckoning with his own high place — the high place of approval — and why destroying it this week was the hardest thing he's done.Whether you've been following Jesus for thirty years or you're just curious about what any of this means, this message is for you.

We all know the feeling — looking around, seeing what everyone else has, and quietly thinking, “I want that.” In 1 Samuel 7 and 8, the people of Israel did exactly that. They had God as their King. They had miracle after miracle in their rearview mirror. And they still asked for a human king “like all the other nations have.”In this message at Love Church Omaha, Luke Reelfs walks through the danger of getting what you think you want when it's outside of God's best — and gives a three-step path back: turn from idols, trust God's leadership, talk to Him before you chase what everyone else is chasing.
